The Congress today formed a 10- member panel to overhaul its communication strategy, and appointed new AICC in-charges for Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand.
P L Punia was made the AICC in-charge for Chhattisgarh, while R P N Singh will look after party affairs in Jharkhand.
Earlier, both these states were handled by B K Hariprasad, who resigned as the All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary recently.
To help improve the party's communication strategy, Congress president Sonia Gandhi formed a new communication strategy group.
Its members include senior leaders Mallikarjun Kharge, Ghulam Nabi Azad, Anand Sharma, P Chidambaram, Mani Shankar Aiyar, Jairam Ramesh, Jyotiraditya Scindia and Sushmita Dev.
AICC in-charge of communications department Randeep Surjewala and chairperson of its newly-set up research department Rajeev Gowda have been made its ex-officio members.
